CS40 wheels (several pics)

Here are my Shelby Wheels CS40 rims (purchased from 05stangkc -- who always gets my recommendation!)

SPECS
Fr: 20x9 + 30 with 255/35 Nitto 555
Rr: 20x10 + 45 with 275/35 Nitto 555

Lowered with Steeda Sports (1.25/1.75 measured drop)


MY REACTIONS
I love them. Yes, there is a slight degradation in acceleration and braking, but not enough to be a deterrent. The car has a LOT more grip than before (17" stockers), and if feels much more connected and planted. Not sure if that is the rubber, or the size, but it rides better and corners much better.

I would certainly do it again in a heartbeat.

Those are SWEET DUDE!!! I haven't seen them in person yet. From what I see, they are awesome!!

Hey, if you don't know, log onto Shelbywheels website, and email the VP (Gary Consalvi) the picture of your car with the new wheels. They will put it in their gallery. I got mine there and its pretty cool to see it in there with other awesome rides. Plus, I think you may be the 1st to have the CS40s installed on the net.

Thanks. I will do send my pics in, but when I get better pics. I just was excited, and this was the best I could do today

And, no, I have seen 2 others with the CS40s.

Not different, just redone, but better this time around.

I've been looking into getting some Ghost GT's, but I saw these on Shelby's site, waaaay nice looking. Was waiting to see what they looked like on someone's car first. Look awesome. What other colors they got?

Ooooh yes, and get some chrome knock-offs

Wheels look nice, but um.. are your rear tires mounted in the correct direction?

I like them a lot. I wasn't a fan of 20" rims but those look good because they are also WIDE!
